So, West Ham didn’t do us any favours on Sunday and were comprehensively thrashed by Liverpool. Lazy bastards. Probably still hold a grudge for the two beatings we dished out to them.
In all honesty though, this situation is ours fault, and ours alone. Just think about it: of the 36 games we’ve dropped points in 15. Not quite every other game, but more often than once in three attempts.
